Has anyone found it possible to resist the psychic compulsions that we seem to experience periodically on this ship?

Comments

[itsyourtime]

Not as of yet, but I am certain it is possible.

[rani_ushas]

Have you any experience yourself with telepathic or psychic shielding?

[itsyourtime]

None at all, though learning more about it could be quite useful. I only dealt with one psychic before coming here, and while her powers were quite fascinating, it would have been useful if she was a little less capable of gaining information about me.

[rani_ushas]

Yes, there is that disadvantage.

What is your name, and where do you come from?

[soundof_drums]

What's the matter, Rani? Feeling cheerful?

[rani_ushas]

Hardly.

[soundof_drums]

That's a shame.

How to make you smile...

I know! Let's study the molecular properties of the snow to determine its precise origins! It'll be a wild night in your laboratory!

[rani_ushas]

At least you're not proposing another snowball fight.

[criativismo]

Indeed, yes.

[rani_ushas]

I suppose that explains the Old High Gallifreyan text you posted several days back?

[criativismo]

Which you were not able to understand? Perhaps. But my secrets are not easily uncovered, are they?

[rani_ushas]

I understood enough to know that you may want to learn how to use the privacy settings on the communications network.

[highcollarevil]

And why exactly would I it?

[rani_ushas]

You don't find it tedious to participate in the folk rituals of lesser species?

And I missed a 'want' in the tag above. *fail*

[highcollarevil]

Enough to realize you are contradicting yourself, and that's nothing like you. What has happened? Fallen under their spell?

[rani_ushas]

Put it down to the fact that I grow bored.

[stopthat_destro]

Not at all. But then, I'm quite new here, myself. Are there any theories as to the origins of these disturbances?

[rani_ushas]

I gather that some seem to think that the Admiral himself is responsible. Other events seem to be occasioned by the intersection of the Barge with another world or dimension.

[stopthat_destro]

Hmm.

Some of the anomalies caused by the Barge can be explained through the precise application of certain technologies. Emotions, appearance, memories... all can be altered with nanomite technology.

[rani_ushas]

Subtle manipulation on a cellular or molecular level ... yes, I suppose that is possible. Had we the appropriate scanning equipment, we might learn if this was the case.

Incidentally, Doctor, I have mentioned your proposal for an inmate laboratory to one Dr Thomas Statler, whose comments you may notice above. It appears that we may have sufficient personnel to form a coalition of scientists.
